Kathmandu. Thousands of Nepali workers are at risk due to the ongoing political and military tensions in the Middle East and the Gulf. Fear of job loss, fear of saving lives and fear of a major impact on remittance inflow have increased. <\/p>\n
Several Gulf and Middle Eastern countries are entering a war-like scenario, especially amid attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel. This situation has put the lives of Nepali migrant workers in Iran, Israel, Kuwait, Dubai, Qatar and Abu Dhabi for employment and higher education at risk. <\/p>\n
Nepalis working in some countries in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, etc.) have serious concerns about whether their jobs will be safe or not. <\/p>\n
Political-military tensions have led to instability in the employment of workers in the private and public sectors. There is also the risk that some companies may decide to close workplaces and hire fewer workers. At a time when the employment of the workers who earn in foreign land and send remittances to Nepal is in jeopardy, both the economy and the family in Nepal are worried. <\/p>\n
Experts say that continued tensions and instability will have an impact on investment, jobs and labor markets. This will have a direct impact on the income of Nepali workers. The situation could be even more challenging due to the unemployed manpower piling up in the country and the pressure on them to repay their personal loans at a time when the workers who have gone abroad after taking loans have to return home prematurely. <\/p>\n
Families of Nepali workers in the Mediterranean, Gulf and Middle East are now under both financial and emotional pressure. This is a challenging time for Nepali workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
